Anthony Stolarz's Fate Confirmed As Maple Leafs Prepare For Back-to-Back Games

Fans are hoping the injury to Anthony Stolarz isn't serious, and news has come out that things are trending in the right direction for the Maple Leafs goaltender.

During Thursday's game against the Anaheim Ducks, Maple Leafs netminder Anthony Stolarz appeared to suffer a lower-body injury after Anaheim scored their first goal toward the end of the first period.

Fans were anxiously waiting for good news, and while they got the best news possible with Stolarz being out day to day, they can breathe a little easier with a new update.

While he won't be playing the weekend, Stolarz ended up traveling with the team to Detroit, a positive sign that he didn't need to hang back for more tests and evaluation.

According to Luke Fox of Sportsnet on X, Stolarz was confirmed to be with the team but will not play Saturday or Sunday.

It's a big relief for Maple Leafs fans as Stolarz has been lights out this season and been in serious consideration for the Vezina Trophy as the league's best goaltender.

He has a 9-5-2 record this season with a 2.15 GAA and .927 SV%, being a huge reason alongside Joseph Woll as to why Toronto is able to hold top spot in the Atlantic Division.

More details to come.
